| dc.description.abstract | The kinetics of adsorption of mucin onto titanium surface was investigated. The amount of titanium, concentration of mucin solution, reaction temperature and pH were optimised by preliminary experiments as 0.02 mg, 0.1 mg/ml, 35 °C and 6.4, respectively. The amount of mucin adsorbed increased with time until equilibrium was attained after about 115 minutes with the maximum concentration of mucin adsorbed being 0.0603 mg/ml for Ca-Ti followed by that of unto K-Ti implying that the adsorption is not influenced by the presence of Ca² ions. Analysis of kinetic data obtained with Lagergren, Bhattacharya/Venkobacharya and Flick’s models revealed that the adsorption is first order with respect to mucin molecules and that diffusion is the predominant mechanism for the adsorption. | en_US |
